Writing
FROM THE ARCHIVE
Travel Writing
Travel has its fair share of inconvenience, adventure, comedy and just plain tedium. Occasionally it’s a paid junket, with all the temptations that come with that (a writer’s version of Stockholm syndrome). I work to keep it real and write about the whole experience, not just all the yummy bits, with some degree (I hope) of humour and intelligence, and a modicum of integrity. As well as writing I travel with a 60D Canon EOS Camera and lens kit. Most of the time my wife, Art Director Nicola Feeney, travels with me, and when she does she gets behind the camera. This explains (1) why the photos are good and (2) why she never features in any of them.
CLICK BELOW to see links to some of my writing for the NZ Herald, Herald on Sunday and North & South Magazine. They feature Nic’s photography.
Articles
As well as travel writing, I’ve traversed a range of other topics in my other articles. Here’s some examples of my articles (from the Sunday Star Times, North & South and Actors Equity Magazines). Again Nicola has taken many of the photos here.

Peter on RNZ Nights
A long while back I chatted with Nights host on National Radio, Bryan Crump, about what it was like to live in Russia just after the fall of communism. My God it was cold, AND rather alcoholic. Anyway, here is the interview, which ran Tuesday 29 July
Peter’s Blogs
Peter had a short lived career (of about six minutes) as a blogger. He had three followers only, and because one of them was a family pet, and another his mother, he stopped. NOW he posts regularly, BUT only on his closed Facebook page – ALA ACTORS LAB AUCKLAND PETER FEENEY – and, you guessed it, you must have attended one of Peter’s classes to join. What are you waiting for? www.actorslabstudio.co.nz
